Swell Summary
The current, extra-large, long-period northwest (310-320 degree) swell peaked earlier Sunday and will slowly decline tonight through Monday. This swell is expected to slowly lose energy tonight, but it will continue to produce warning level surf into early Monday. Therefore, the High Surf Warning remains in effect through noon on Monday for exposed north and west facing shores of most islands. Surf is then expected to drop to advisory levels by Monday afternoon as the swell energy eases. Another large, long period northwest swell (310-330 degree) is forecast to fill in on Wednesday, peak Thursday, then slowly subside on Friday. Surf may once again approach warning levels.
East shore surf will remain small for the next several days due to weak winds. Some south facing shores experienced a small amount of westerly wrap from this weekend's northwest swell on Sunday, but this will ease by Monday and south shore surf will remain small throughout the next few days.
